Bhratri Dwitiya 2018 date as per Hindu calendar and
Panchang. Bhratri Dwitiya is an important Hindu festival in which sisters
display their love for their brothers. Bhratri Dwitiya is observed after Holi. The
name of the festival ‘dwitiya’, denotes that the festival falls on second day
after full moon. ‘Bhratri’ means brother. In 2018, the date of Bhratri Dwitiya after Holi is
on March 3.

Both married and unmarried women participate in Bhratri
Dwitiya. The most important event on the day is the application of teeka or
tilak (Vermilion Dot) on brother’s forehead by the sister. She then performs an
arati. Usually, the sister visits the brother to do the Bhratri dwitiya puja.

Holi is a festival that is largely ignored in the southern parts of India. But some Hindu communities in some regions observe Holi here too but slightly differently. In Kannyakumari region in Tamil Nadu, Holi is known as Kaman Pandigai and is associated with the popular legend of Lord Shiva burning Kamdev, the Hindu God of love, into ashes. The popular belief is that Rati, the consort of Kama, was able to revive Kamdev with the blessings of Lord Shiva on the Holi day.
The main ritual involves sing songs depicting Rati’s despair and offering sandalwood paste to Kama to ease the pain of burning.
Legend has it that Hindu God Shiva went into deep meditation after the death of his consort, Sati. As per Hindu religious scriptures, Shiva represents ‘matter’ and Sati or Parvati, ‘shakti or energy’. With Shiva entering into meditation means there was total imbalance. Without Shiva and Shakti cting in consonance, human life would come to a standstill.
So Sati was later reborn as Parvati. But S…

Talk of Holi and the first picture that comes to our mind is
playing with colors. Holi is all about making natural colors and playing with natural colors. By making colors from natural materials we get close to nature.
When we play with colors we drop our ego, anger, jealousy and become pure. We
are so immersed in the play that we forget everything – this is the state that
we try to attain through meditation – a thought free state.

Holi is specifically observed during this period because it is
the period of numerous skin diseases. The gulal or natural colors that are
thrown help in checking the disease carrying pathogens. It also helps in
protecting the skin.
Holi also teaches us that religion is not all about prayer, and
more prayer…it is not all seriousness. There is place for fun and frolic. Holi
teaches us that there should creation, enthusiasm, renewed energy, forgetting
the bad past, starting afresh, hope in daily life.
Just go out and join in the riot of colors…thoughts and te…

To inspire means to fill others with enthusiasm, confidence
and creativity. When we are inspired we feel truly alive! We certainly take
inspiration from the presence and words of exceptional spiritual teachers.

The word “inspire” also means to “breath into,” which is
about our own responsibility, to take advantage of what we hear, of the
atmosphere and energy around us, and shared wisdom.

When I talk about seeing the Light of God, I do not mean
seeing a flash of light. When the third eye of wisdom opens, it is also called
light – the light of knowledge and the light of understanding. That light
allowed me to remember – that is, to recognize – my own true Self and my own
true Parent.
Enthusiasm is the master key to feeling great. It keeps the
self extremely positive beyond the pull of negativity while simultaneously
making others feel uplifted too. To develop enthusiasm, have faith in the goodness
of life and in the original goodness of the self and others. – Dadi Janki
